Abstract

The automotive industry is undergoing a profound transformation characterized by the transition from hardware-centric to software-driven vehicles. This results in a variety of challenges, such as the increasing complexity of components, shortened development cycles, and evolving regulatory requirements that need to be met. In this context, our article explores the impact of UNECE regulations R.155 and R.156 on the technical prototyping phase in the development of mechatronic systems. Furthermore, we use the findings as an objective and examine the implications for the current landscape of prototyping research. Using a comprehensive case study in the German automotive industry with four OEMs, we investigate the current state of prototyping in the German automotive industry. Our analysis shows that although previous research suggests prototyping processes, they reach their limits in complex systems and cannot cope with the challenges of the industry. At the center of the conclusions is the need to develop a prototyping framework that includes a taxonomy of projects and forms the basis for a testing strategy to shorten time-to-market. As part of this, we propose the introduction of the novel term "phygital prototype" to bridge the gap between physical and virtual prototypes. Furthermore, we argue that product compliance should not only be integrated methodically but also propose concrete procedural steps within the prototyping framework.

德国汽车工业的工业原型设计:缩小物理原型和虚拟原型之间的差距
汽车行业正在经历一场深刻的变革,其特点是从以硬件为中心的汽车过渡到以软件为驱动的汽车。这就带来了各种挑战,如组件的复杂性不断增加、开发周期缩短以及需要满足的法规要求不断变化。在此背景下,我们的文章探讨了联合国欧洲经济委员会法规 R.155 和 R.156 对机电一体化系统开发中技术原型阶段的影响。此外,我们还将研究结果作为目标,探讨其对当前原型开发研究领域的影响。通过对德国汽车行业的四个原始设备制造商进行综合案例研究,我们调查了德国汽车行业的原型设计现状。我们的分析表明,尽管之前的研究提出了原型设计流程,但这些流程在复杂系统中达到了极限,无法应对该行业的挑战。结论的核心是需要制定一个原型开发框架,其中包括项目分类法,并为缩短产品上市时间的测试战略奠定基础。为此,我们建议引入 "phygital prototype"(数字原型)这一新名词,以弥合物理原型与虚拟原型之间的差距。此外,我们还认为,产品合规性不仅应在方法上加以整合,还应在原型框架内提出具体的程序步骤。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management. The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning. The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
